This is the way to convert your mirror lights over to LEDs for 97-01 Explorers
Materials:
-24 5mm 55,000mcd, white LEDs
-24 Resistors
-Radio Shack Project Board
Tools:
-Dremel
-Hot Glue Gun
-Soldering Iron
Remove the bulb housing from the mirror.
Using the dremel and a cut off wheel, cut off the top of the housing
Then cut a piece of project board to fit in the light housing
Glue on 12 LEDs to each board.
Solder on a resistor to each + LED lead
Then group the + leads, and connect the - leads
Cover all the exposed wires with hot glue then put the board inside the housing and glue it together.
